It's super frustrating when you're trying to pay for your meal and you can't because your waiter has been MIA for half an hour. Here are 3 things we think you'd rather be doing than waiting for the check—and we bet you can come up with even more!

1. Going home after happy hour.

After a long week, or in the middle of one, there's nothing like unwinding after work at happy hour with friends. Unfortunately, it seems like everyone else always has the same idea.

What should be a relaxing experience turns into an hour-long hunt for the waiter or waitress to take your order, refill your glasses, and finally, to get your check. If only paying for your meal was as easy as the Uber you took to get to the restaurant!

2. Attending your 1p.m. meeting.

If you've ever had a meeting scheduled for after lunch, you know the feeling of anxiously scanning a restaurant for your waiter so you can flag them down for your check. Don't they know your job hangs in the balance if you're the last one in the conference room, again?!

3. At the theatre watching the movie you paid for.

'Dinner and a movie' is the quintessential date idea. How can you go wrong with a classic? Well, you can if your movie is in an hour, and dinner took an hour and a half because your waitress seems to have disappeared. You don't want to dine and dash, but the clock is ticking and dash is what you'll have to do to make the movie!

Do these scenarios sound familiar? What you need is a self-pay app. If there are places you need to be, try Ready!
